Question

I have a winforms app that initially displays a window with two file dialog boxes, one folder dialog box, and one textbox with some default text in it. I want the default text to be highlighted. I’ve tried everything I have found with no luck.

Any advice is appreciated.

Regards.

Make sure HideSelection is false on your textbox and use the select method to select the text:

textBox1.HideSelection = false;
textBox1.Select(0, textBox1.Text.Length);
